RICH, Admi istrator of estate of D. A. Rich, depve a oa an The Situation, = The Executive Committee of the Anti-Debris Assocation met in Sacra‘mento this week. The Bee says that the report of Watchman George H. Magruder was read, from which it appeared that he visited the American River and all the mines operated upon it. He visited the Red Dog mine and Kate Hayes mine, both of which have been enjoined at the instance of the Association; and-found that those defendants were faithfully observing the decree of Court enjoining them from mining. At the works of the old Kate Hayes mine; which was enjoined some months ago at the instance of the county of Yuba, he found that the ber 26th, had broken the upper restraining dam, and that the dam had now deposit, which is restrained by the lower dam, the lower one being full to the spillway. Before the breaking: of this upper dam all the material washed down from the upper pool necessarily went into the North Yuba River. The material removed runs from fifteen feet in depth at the broken dam to about one foot in depta 1000 feet above the dam, and ranges in width from twenty-five to 100 feet.The other mines visited by the watchmen were the Little York and Lowell Hill mines, Liberty Hill mine, Moody mine, Gold Run mine, Mayflower mine, Southern Oross mine, Ben Franklin mine, Snow mine, Texas Hill mine, Smith Fiat’s mine, Weaver Gulch mine, Landecker mine, Pebble Hill mine, Red Hill mine and Hayden Hill mine. Some of these were were in operation and others were idle. Concerning three of them, whoxe names the officers of the Association thought it best to witbhold from the public for the. present, he made a special report and the matter was referred to the attorney of the Asssociation for legal action. Robert IT. Devlin, the attorney for the Association, stated that the case storme since his last visit, on Decem-. ’ 7 =o wan ek Ew ER of Mr. Cross, the reason for the continuance being that O. W. Cross, the mining attorney representing the defendants, was engaged in the trial of some irrigation cases in the southern part of the State, and upon his application the cases were continued until the latter day, but that on the latter day it was understood that the same would be tried without farther continuance. ~ The watchmen intend to start ont immediately again for further examination of the mining territory, and the -balance of the afternoon was spent in the discussion of the best means to be taken during the coming months to re‘strain such mines as are mining in vioation of law, andalso such as have dams of an insufficient character, and which do not restrain their debris. WATER TITLES Should Always Be Included in the Tie to the Land. The West would long since have had working examples of national irrigation and government construction of reservoirs, had it not been for Western opposition. This statement has been made by Hydrographer Newell of the Irrigation branch of Geological Survey aud by others who have been connected with irrigation ‘development, surveys, etc., for a long period of years. It was thought at first that vast fortunes were to be made out of dam sites, the construction of reservoirs by private capitaland the selling of water-rights to settlers. But ‘the experiences of the last ten or twelve years have shown that private capital in storage reservoirs is not generally a good investment. Right here comes in the question if title to the water should go with the land. Irrigation investments have proven safe, and m. ney can now be found for investment only in projects organized as co-operative canal companies, or where the title tothe land and the necessary water is unite?, while under the waterright system it is impossible to longer secure the investment of intelligent Hayes Mining Company, and the case of the county of Sutter against the Red Dog-mine had been continued for trial The Cruel Knife! It is absolutely useless to expeet a surgical operation to cure cancer, or any other blood disease. The cruelty gf such treatment is illustrated in the alarming number of deaths which result from it. The disease is in the jlood, and hence can not be cut out. Nine times out of ten the surgeon’s nife only hastens death. My son had a most malignant Cancer, for which the doctors said an operation was the only hope. The opergtion was a severe pne, as it was necesgary to cut down to the jawbone and scrape it. Before & great while the Cencer returned, and ben to grow rapidly. e gave him many remedies without relief, and Gnally . upon the advice of @ E triend, decided to ye try 5S 8. (Switys AS ce), and with. Quag , the second bottle he AN , . began to improve. After twenty bottles hac been taken, the Cancer disappeared entirely and he wascured. The cure was a permanent one, for he is now seventeen years old, and has never had a sign of the dreadful disease to return. .N. Murpocn, 279 Snodgraas St., Dallas, Texas.

Under one, the farmer owns the land and the company. sells _bim a water right. This is: the system which has almost invariably turned out disastrously. Under the other system, the owner of the land also owns a share in the water property, so that the ownership of land and water are united, “This isthe successful system. So with proper management, the co-operative system can be successful as far as it goes ; but itis necessarily limited in . extent. At this point national irrigation ;comes in. Some have conceived the im pression that national irrigation contemplates the building or ownership { by the government of all reservoir and irrigation works. This is erroneous, No one proposes such a policy. The national irrigation movement contemplates the construction of reservoiis, etc., by the government, only when such work is beyond the scope of private enterprise or private capital, while at the same time national irrigation would operate along the same lines as co-operation, that is, it would mean land and water ownership combined in one, only the water ownership would . beapublic instead of—an individual ownership.

Congress 1s Now Beginning to Realize the Industry's Importance.The Call of last Sunday says: The outlook for mining legislation in Congress has wonderfu!ly brightened during the present session. When California proposed a governmental department devoted to mining several years ago there were few answering echoes. Proposed mining legislation of all sorts received little attention or favor. The Land Office was hostile antil Hermann succeeded Lanieroux. The industry was not an organized force and was not heard and felt asa unified interest. It was not of enough consequence to command great presNow it has awakened to a wonderful new development. It is rapidly approacbing an output of an annual billion in raw material. Its stupendous future possibilities are being clearly seen and its enormous significance in the industrial and commercial life of the nation is being appreciated. It -is cutting a large figure in the foreground of the nation’s great Western advance which is stirring the interes:s of the world, So it is not so strange that one of the bills creating a Cabinet depart ment of mines and mining has just won the victory of favorable report from a House committes. Tre chances of its passage by this Congress are uncertain. There is a Difference of 0;tnlon Among County Clerks. There is a difference of opinion among Oounty Clerks as to construction of law relative to entering names in the great register. me contend that tLe of registration and a duplicate, the latter to be used at polling. places. Others contend that a great register is necessary, in which every name must be entered the same as in years past. Some of them already have obtained books and commenced entering the names, as affidavits of registration conmie in. The Clerk of Yolo county quotes the following sections of law as authority for bis course in entering names, as in the past: “A register, in which shall be entered the names of the qualified electors of each of the counties in the State, shall be kept at the office of the County Clerk of each county and in each of the cities and counties of the State such a register shall be kept in the office of the person charged with the registration of voters of such city and’ county. *** There must bé left opposite each name in the great register a blank for cancellation. Osuncellation is made by writing in such blank the word canceled and a statement of the reasons therefore, and by writing across the face of the affidavit used in When it becomes the present issue in House and Senate it will meet oppo3ition and its outlook may be seen to” need two or three more years of. brightening, but Uncle Sam will surely have a Secretary of Mining before, very long. Probably the people after . a Secretary of Commerce and Industry will have to be dickered with. But the scheme will receive far more favor than even a year ago. This condition gives encouragement for the mineral lands bill, for the petroleum bill, for the revision of mining laws and other measures for the benefit of the miner. The report of the Federal engineers composing the California Debris Commission at last formulating an impounding scheme calls for $800,000 for proposed restraining barriers in the Yuba River, and as but $500,000 has been appropriated by nation and-State for the work Oalifornia has a $300,600, appropriation to go to work for. ome What is Shiloh ?

Goyne’s orchestra furnished the music and Jas. F. Colley as floor manager. was assisted by an able corps of. directors. The general committee of arrangements, consisting of Fred Zeitler, B. S. Rector, M. M. Bernheim, J, J. Jackson and Wm. H. Martin were attired in handsome continental dress and led the grand march.

The Bee says that the report of Watchman George H. Magruder was read, from which it appeared that he visited the American River and all the mines operated upon it. He visited the Red Dog mine and Kate Hayes mine, both of which have been enjoined at the instance of the Association; and-found that those defendants were faithfully observing the decree of Court enjoining them from mining. At the works of the old Kate Hayes mine; which was enjoined some months ago at the instance of the county of Yuba, he found that the ber 26th, had broken the upper restraining dam, and that the dam had now deposit, which is restrained by the lower dam, the lower one being full to the spillway. Before the breaking: of this upper dam all the material washed down from the upper pool necessarily went into the North Yuba River. The material removed runs from fifteen feet in depth at the broken dam to about one foot in depta 1000 feet above the dam, and ranges in width from twenty-five to 100 feet.The other mines visited by the watchmen were the Little York and Lowell Hill mines, Liberty Hill mine, Moody mine, Gold Run mine, Mayflower mine, Southern Oross mine, Ben Franklin mine, Snow mine, Texas Hill mine, Smith Fiat’s mine, Weaver Gulch mine, Landecker mine, Pebble Hill mine, Red Hill mine and Hayden Hill mine. Some of these were were in operation and others were idle. Concerning three of them, whoxe names the officers of the Association thought it best to witbhold from the public for the. present, he made a special report and the matter was referred to the attorney of the Asssociation for legal action. Robert IT. Devlin, the attorney for the Association, stated that the case storme since his last visit, on Decem-. ’ 7 =o wan ek Ew ER of Mr. Cross, the reason for the continuance being that O. W. Cross, the mining attorney representing the defendants, was engaged in the trial of some irrigation cases in the southern part of the State, and upon his application the cases were continued until the latter day, but that on the latter day it was understood that the same would be tried without farther continuance. ~ The watchmen intend to start ont immediately again for further examination of the mining territory, and the -balance of the afternoon was spent in the discussion of the best means to be taken during the coming months to re‘strain such mines as are mining in vioation of law, andalso such as have dams of an insufficient character, and which do not restrain their debris. WATER TITLES Should Always Be Included in the Tie to the Land. The West would long since have had working examples of national irrigation and government construction of reservoirs, had it not been for Western opposition. This statement has been made by Hydrographer Newell of the Irrigation branch of Geological Survey aud by others who have been connected with irrigation ‘development, surveys, etc., for a long period of years. It was thought at first that vast fortunes were to be made out of dam sites, the construction of reservoirs by private capitaland the selling of water-rights to settlers. But ‘the experiences of the last ten or twelve years have shown that private capital in storage reservoirs is not generally a good investment. Right here comes in the question if title to the water should go with the land. Irrigation investments have proven safe, and m. ney can now be found for investment only in projects organized as co-operative canal companies, or where the title tothe land and the necessary water is unite?, while under the waterright system it is impossible to longer secure the investment of intelligent Hayes Mining Company, and the case of the county of Sutter against the Red Dog-mine had been continued for trial The Cruel Knife! It is absolutely useless to expeet a surgical operation to cure cancer, or any other blood disease. The cruelty gf such treatment is illustrated in the alarming number of deaths which result from it. The disease is in the jlood, and hence can not be cut out. Nine times out of ten the surgeon’s nife only hastens death. My son had a most malignant Cancer, for which the doctors said an operation was the only hope. The opergtion was a severe pne, as it was necesgary to cut down to the jawbone and scrape it. Before & great while the Cencer returned, and ben to grow rapidly. e gave him many remedies without relief, and Gnally . upon the advice of @ E triend, decided to ye try 5S 8. (Switys AS ce), and with. Quag , the second bottle he AN , . began to improve. After twenty bottles hac been taken, the Cancer disappeared entirely and he wascured. The cure was a permanent one, for he is now seventeen years old, and has never had a sign of the dreadful disease to return. .N. Murpocn, 279 Snodgraas St., Dallas, Texas.

Under one, the farmer owns the land and the company. sells _bim a water right. This is: the system which has almost invariably turned out disastrously. Under the other system, the owner of the land also owns a share in the water property, so that the ownership of land and water are united, “This isthe successful system. So with proper management, the co-operative system can be successful as far as it goes ; but itis necessarily limited in . extent. At this point national irrigation ;comes in. Some have conceived the im pression that national irrigation contemplates the building or ownership { by the government of all reservoir and irrigation works. This is erroneous, No one proposes such a policy. The national irrigation movement contemplates the construction of reservoiis, etc., by the government, only when such work is beyond the scope of private enterprise or private capital, while at the same time national irrigation would operate along the same lines as co-operation, that is, it would mean land and water ownership combined in one, only the water ownership would . beapublic instead of—an individual ownership.

Congress 1s Now Beginning to Realize the Industry's Importance.The Call of last Sunday says: The outlook for mining legislation in Congress has wonderfu!ly brightened during the present session. When California proposed a governmental department devoted to mining several years ago there were few answering echoes. Proposed mining legislation of all sorts received little attention or favor. The Land Office was hostile antil Hermann succeeded Lanieroux. The industry was not an organized force and was not heard and felt asa unified interest. It was not of enough consequence to command great presNow it has awakened to a wonderful new development. It is rapidly approacbing an output of an annual billion in raw material. Its stupendous future possibilities are being clearly seen and its enormous significance in the industrial and commercial life of the nation is being appreciated. It -is cutting a large figure in the foreground of the nation’s great Western advance which is stirring the interes:s of the world, So it is not so strange that one of the bills creating a Cabinet depart ment of mines and mining has just won the victory of favorable report from a House committes. Tre chances of its passage by this Congress are uncertain. There is a Difference of 0;tnlon Among County Clerks. There is a difference of opinion among Oounty Clerks as to construction of law relative to entering names in the great register. me contend that tLe of registration and a duplicate, the latter to be used at polling. places. Others contend that a great register is necessary, in which every name must be entered the same as in years past. Some of them already have obtained books and commenced entering the names, as affidavits of registration conmie in. The Clerk of Yolo county quotes the following sections of law as authority for bis course in entering names, as in the past: “A register, in which shall be entered the names of the qualified electors of each of the counties in the State, shall be kept at the office of the County Clerk of each county and in each of the cities and counties of the State such a register shall be kept in the office of the person charged with the registration of voters of such city and’ county. *** There must bé left opposite each name in the great register a blank for cancellation. Osuncellation is made by writing in such blank the word canceled and a statement of the reasons therefore, and by writing across the face of the affidavit used in When it becomes the present issue in House and Senate it will meet oppo3ition and its outlook may be seen to” need two or three more years of. brightening, but Uncle Sam will surely have a Secretary of Mining before, very long. Probably the people after . a Secretary of Commerce and Industry will have to be dickered with. But the scheme will receive far more favor than even a year ago. This condition gives encouragement for the mineral lands bill, for the petroleum bill, for the revision of mining laws and other measures for the benefit of the miner. The report of the Federal engineers composing the California Debris Commission at last formulating an impounding scheme calls for $800,000 for proposed restraining barriers in the Yuba River, and as but $500,000 has been appropriated by nation and-State for the work Oalifornia has a $300,600, appropriation to go to work for. ome What is Shiloh ?
